Our school is a secondary modern school, which is situated in the midst of the wonderful Erzgebirg mountain range in the east westerly part of Saxony. Dresden, Saxony's capital lies just 80 Km away from us and provides a wealth of culture, arts and is saturated with an abundance of historic events and traditions.
Our school staff, consists of 25 teachers and 4 social workers who together, thrive in producing and maintaining a high quality of education for our 250 pupils. The pupils aged between 10 and 16, are taught Mathematics, English, German, Science, P.E. and Arts. After passing their written and oral exams, the pupils receive a graduation level which is equivalent to that of the GCSE in Great Britain. They can also achieve an European Entrepreneurs Certificate.
Apart from their academic challenges, the pupils have also the chance to enhance their social qualities, by participating, in many of the self chosen workshops and club activities. Between the ages of 13 and 16, each pupil is also given the chance of taking part in our "Youth Opportunities Work Schemes". These valuable work experiences, which are sponsored and endorsed by many of our local firms, play a large part in providing important modular system which endorse a stable, employer-employee relationship. The pupils, show their appreciation to the community, by organising many and much admired, cultural, sport, dance and theatrical events throughout the year.
Our school can proudly boast about our yearly "School Exchange" and a healthy partnership with a large high school in the United States of America. This exchange has taken place for the last four years, thanks to the well known and highly endorsed German American Partnership Program.
We see our objectives through the "Comenius Project", as being able to share our abundance of experience, knowledge and diverse teaching methods, with other schools and it's teachers throughout Europe. We are of course also very grateful, at receiving this chance to learn something from our peers.
